Great spot if you're looking for an american experience. Not what I really wanted, but can't knock them for that. Burger was excellent and live music was great. Server was friendly and spoke both english and spanish and helped us with our spanish. 4 instead of 5 stars as food was expensive in comparison to other restaurants. If the price could come down a bit it would be 5 stars for sure! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

<<1 year later update>> The burgers have gotten bigger! They are the closest thing to a "smash burger" that I've found in town. The cheese sauce is tasty (are they adding ranch powder to it?). The family running the place are friendly and they've really made their restaurant a welcoming place. They are absolutely packed on nights where they are showing a sports game or one of the other music nights. They lose stars because of how constrained their kitchen/boat is. It's 1 hard working person attempting to cook for 80+ people. The last two visits it's taken over 90 minutes to receive food. Many friends in our group left after 2 hours of not receiving their order. Benson's is a victim of their own success. Come for drinks but eat somewhere else beforehand. ----------------------------------------------- <<original review>> Newer indoor dining option. Very limited menu, but that's usually a good sign. The burgers are tasty but need to be 50% larger (even the double meat burger needs to be bigger). I want to come back and try the bacon wrapped burritos.
Probably a fun bar but not a good restaurant. And very overpriced. For myself, and my two sons, with each of us ordering a burrito and two drinks, the total came to over M$2000 or roughly $133. That's 4 times our other dinners in La Ventana. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
Excellent burgers and drinks. Fun karaoke too! When you want a taste of rock n roll US w good tequila ,this is the place. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Opened for breakfast on weekends with chilaquiles and tortas. Super friendly staff, full bar, great food. Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $1–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Such a wonderful experience! The food is outstanding. No other Hamburger like it in La Ventana!!! This family run Restaurant is clean and the nautical atmosphere is delightful, whimsical and nostalgic. They used a real sail boat to make the bar. Service was excellent and language was not a barrier for us here. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $1–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Friendly staff and decent drink selection but food and service need tuning. Limited menu (which is fine), but burger looked like it had been run over and dragged down the beach, fries were cold and service was very slow. Drink prices are a bit above average and beer didn't come with a lime... details. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

One of our most memorable stops on our trip. This family run bar/restaurant was exactly what we were looking for. It was my partners birthday and they made us feel like we were part of the family. Can't wait to return to La Ventana to visit this spot. I'd give 6 stars if I could!
